What distro/version are you trying to set up? If you are using one of the Linux@Duke distros (i.e. CentOS5 or FC6), it should already be set, so I'm assuming you are using a general release.
Side note: this will make it so you /only/ use the Duke mirror, even when you are off campus. Plus, in the unlikely event of the Duke mirror going down, you won't be able to download updates.
To just use the general release mirrors, you can change the baseurl in your /etc/yum.repos.d/<name>.repo files to reference archive.linux.duke.edu. The only two changes I've made are
1) copy the baseurl line, uncomment it, and change download.fedoraproject.org to archive.linux.duke.edu
2) comment out the mirrorlist
For example, here are my .repo files for Fedora 10 (removed the debuginfo and sources parts for brevity, plus I didn't include the rpmfusion or testing .repo files):
[mra13@michael-laptop ~]$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
[fedora]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/
#mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch
baseurl=http://archive.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch
[mra13@michael-laptop ~]$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo
[updates]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - Updates
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
#mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f$releasever&arch=$basearch
baseurl=http://archive.linux.duke.edu/pub/fedora/linux/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch
Hope that helps!
Michael
